“If people knew the amount of labor that goes into producing a gallon of milk, they would pay $10.00/gal. and tip the farmer besides!

When farm subsidies are considered, we are already paying more for a a gallon than the sticker price.”

You got that right!

The insidious vermin in government make sure they obfuscate the REAL cost of so many products by hiding them behind subsidies and a central planned economy.

Were the free market forces allowed to exist the REAL cost of milk would be much lower albeit a shakeout of those dairy farms which are only still in operation because of government (AKA OUR) support.

The dairy business is a very tough life and those willing to be in that business deserve to be paid a good profit for their efforts more so than some 3 piece suit exec. who is paid well in excess of their benefit to a company.

I site as an example of the French Canadian POS who ran what was the world’s largest commercial printer into bankruptcy all while collecting over $6 Million (US) in bonuses each year during the death spiral.

Like a stopped watch being right twice a day, this is one of the few areas where the OWS scum were correct.

You got it right but I have to say that I wouldn't pay that much money for something I really can do without. Just like I did with Orange Juice.
